I'm 36 weeks today and I had a dr appt yesterday. My midwife checked my cervix and said I was already dilated 1/2 cm. My due date is Oct 30th. I've heard 1st time mothers sometimes have trouble dilating on their own.<br />
<br />
Do you think since I'm already dilated I'll have a baby before the 30th?? Did you dilate early?? Or know anyone that did??

I am new to this group, but not new to pregnancy or birth LoL. I am a mother of 2 step-mother of two more, both my births were natural and the second of the two was a home birth (Soul Changing!) I am slowly studying to become a Doula and am one of those "militant natural birth/anti-medical establishment" activists (big mouths *giggles*).<br />
So what I was wondering, is if any of you Ladies has ever gotten preggers while having a paragard copper iud in place? I have had mine for almost a year now…

So what I was wondering, is if any of you Ladies has ever gotten preggers while having a paragard copper iud in place? I have had mine for almost a year now and my partner and I had been very careful in the past to use the "rhythm method" on top of having the iud. Well there were a couple occasions in the last couple months where that whole "rhythm method" went kerflop. I am having almost constant heart burn now, really light periods ( I have been known to have them while pregnant ) and continual light spotting. Unless I have an ulcer from anxiety, I think we may have "Lucky no. 7" on the way. I do not want to take a test until the weekend because I fear a false negative, it has happened to me before.<br />
So any input on this would be extremely helpful ! Thanks!<br />

I noticed that there were a lot of comments from people talking about their experiences during the first trimester and thought I would try and organize it all under a discussion.<br />
<br />
I am 6 weeks pregnant and newly married. We started trying to conceive before the wedding, and we did! I still haven't started telling people and it's such a strange feeling to have this huge, momentous, scary and amazing thing going on and no one knows and no one can tell. In fact, sometimes I almost want to question…

I still haven't started telling people and it's such a strange feeling to have this huge, momentous, scary and amazing thing going on and no one knows and no one can tell. In fact, sometimes I almost want to question whether I'm really pregnant or not.<br />
<br />
I've been interested in women's health and pregnancy for a long time and thought I might have a homebirth. Now that I'm pregnant, its become the clear right choice. I'm looking for a midwife and am reading everything I can get my hands on.... any book recommendations would be welcome!
